Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 77 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $719 and has fallen 82.4% since, to $127 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for vascular surgery clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $6,364.
Across 77 payments — averaging $30.85 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
